Описание
Итог:Since Victor Klemperer published his famous 1947 work on the language of the Third Reich, LTI: Lingua Tertii Imperii, many scholars, mostly philologists and literary critics, have inquired into the vocabulary of the Nazis. Whereas these studies have tended to favor a static picture of the manipulative power of the Nazi language, Thomas Pegelow Kaplan aims to historicize the topic and embed it in the political and social history of the murder of the Jews. Relying on a revised Foucauldian notion of discourse analysis that focuses on how historical actors' negotiations of what can be said shapes “truth,” Pegelow Kaplan explores how various actors defined Germanness and Jewishness by engaging in linguistic inclusions and exclusions.
